KS4 History
Pupils in History will undertake a thematic study of British medicine through time which will include an in depth study of medical advances in the trenches during WWI.
Pupils will then look at a period British study looking at the relationship between Henry VIII and his ministers. Pupils will also look at an international period study of the American West.
The modern depth study that pupils will learn will be Weimar and Nazi Germany (1918-1939) looking at the build up to WWII.
The course will allow pupils to further develop their historical skills through sources as well as causation and significance based questions.
History at GCSE can lead to many different areas, both in terms of further education and career options.
Further Education
A History GCSE is important for anyone considering further education in the following subjects:
History, Politics, International Relations, European studies, Social Policy, Archaeology, Law, Art history.
GCSE History pupils will need a love of the past and a desire to understand how the past has shaped our future. History helps you develop the skills to look beyond the headlines, to ask questions properly, and to express your own opinions. Skills and knowledge to truly understanding the world we live in.

Why social enterprise needs its own approach to intellectual property rights
The young man on the left of this picture is Soloman Linda. You may have heard of him sometime over the last few years, though in his own lifetime, in his own century, you certainly wouldn't have.
Sometime in the late 1920s Soloman Linda wrote a song called 'Mbube' (um-boo-bay – Zulu for 'The Lion'). Although a talented musician, Soloman Linda couldn't read or write. He and his wife lived on maize porridge and slept on a dirt floor, They had 8 children, 2 of whom died as babies, one from malnutrition.
In the 1930s Linda got a job as a cleaner for the Gallo Record Company, where in 1939 he first recorded the song Mbube – and where in 1952 he signed over the copyright for 10 shillings – that would be about £1 now. When Soloman Linda died in 1962, at 53, his family couldn't afford a gravestone.
Does the social enterprise movement lack leadership?
A new survey commissioned by UnLtd has found that if they had access to the right support about 1 in 3 people would like to be social entrepreneurs.
This is yet another confirmation of Dr Rebecca Harding's research on the numbers social entrepreneurs. Her figures suggested some time ago that there are over 230,000 'hidden social enterprises' in the UK, and that over a third of all new entrepreneurs would like to be social entrepreneurs.
It is also another confirmation of the staggering scale of the opportunity we have - and this to me is the area where we really lack leadership (not, as Liam Black recently thought, in defending existing social enterprises).
Our focus on a few kinds of social enterprise - those that happen to fit an official definition, or can be used to forward a government agenda - is blinding us to a much bigger picture.
I've also previously mentioned in my blogs here and in the Guardian Online the Third Sector Research Centre papers on measuring the scale of UK social enterprise (September 2010) and on the construction of the 'social enterprise' concept (forthcoming). These should have exploded once and for all the myth that there are only 62,000 social enterprises in the UK - yet I still hear this discredited figure trotted out by people who are supposed to be promoting social enterprise!
Business models based on greed and exploitation
I talk a lot about Business Models in my training workshops. I reject the Business Plan fetishism indulged so myopically by the likes of Business Link. Business Plans have their place in some trades – but usually way down the list of ingredients for success. Getting your Business Model right, however, is near the top.
Business Modeling is something you do in your imagination, and using few words. A Business Model is a working mental model of the key relationships you have inside and outside the business. It's the fundamental story you tell yourself about what you do – and tell others if you only have a few sentences.
I usually illustrate this with the story of the British slide-rule manufacturer who thought they were in the business of making slide rules. They weren't – and when the electronic pocket calculator came along it wiped out the slide-rule business almost overnight (because, people below a certain age need to know, a slide-rule is, in fact, a pocket calculator). At about the same time an unremarkable American manufacturer of office calculating machines and typewriters lit on the understanding that they were actually in the business of processing information. That company was IBM, and they went on to become the biggest computer company in the world.
Not many jokes...
I asked a colleague recently if they liked my website - they thought for a bit before replying simply "Not many jokes" - so I thought I'd post this slide from my presentation at The Big Jump Conference yesterday, which some other colleagues found amusing...
NHS Social Enterprise Spin-outs - the real story
I've posed the question elsewhere of whether the NHS Right to Request process actually led to ANY increase in the number of spin-outs to social enterprise – and not received a satisfactory answer.
Of course I know of a few cases claimed by the Right to Request process – my question is whether these, and possibly others, would have gone ahead, and maybe even been EASIER, without this 'support' intervention. I certainly managed to keep one NHS externalisation last year out of the official process – which was completed very smoothly in just a few months thankyou very much.
Now I've just read the latest Third Sector Research Centre Working Paper on Social enterprise spin-outs from the English health service: a Right to Request but was anyone listening? by Robin Miller and Dr Ross Millar. This should make uncomfortable reading for the NHS, and all those responsible for promoting the Right to Request.
Will tendering ever work for social enterprise?
I've been mulling over the stream of research findings over the last year or so around the way excessive public sector bureaucracy hampers the effective delivery of services – for example Professor Eileen Munro's recent finding that the safety of children is being compromised because social workers spend too much time on paperwork and targets.
I don't want to repeat here any of those Daily Mail kind of stories about the absurdity of some health and safety bureaucracy – though it is perhaps worth drawing attention to the government's recent attempt to get a sensible grip on all this through the Common Sense Common Safety report.
We all know about the inherent tendency of the public sector to get bogged down in bureaucracy. It's hard to find anything new to say about it. But one area in which social enterprise must keep on raising this issue is public sector tendering.
I know of course that there is a lot of on-going work around gearing social enterprise up to tender, simplifying tender procedures, and building in added-social-value criteria. But this work may prove to be more than a little self-contradictory, and I still don't think we are strong enough in questioning whether bureaucratic tendering is usually the right kind of selection process at all.
I was talking to a colleague very eminent in her field last week, who had taken the decision not to pursue any more tenders. She was turning away customers without any costly tendering, so why bother?
In the subsequent discussion we isolated 7 clear negative results of tendering - for both sides of the tender:
- Any business that is really good at what it does will build a loyal customer base – who will recommend others - so those that respond to tenders are likely to be those with least work on, or those most motivated by ambition, rather than those that are really best at what they do
- Social enterprise is more likely than conventional business to lose out in this situation, since it is likely to focus more on delivering social value, or on a work-life balance that is not financially driven, than on growth
- Tendering – and especially the kind of excessively bureaucratic tendering procedures often favoured in the public sector – tends to select those that are good at tendering, rather than those that are good at actually delivering
- And again, precisely because of its focus on delivery, social enterprise will suffer disproportionately from this
- Building in additional criteria meant to favour social enterprise might actually compound this problem - more criteria often means more forms
- Sometimes it all really is a costly paper exercise anyway (most of us have been to selection panels both for tenders and indeed for jobs where the winning candidate was always obvious to everyone, and we were all just going through the motions)
- And last but certainly not least, large organisations will generally have more capacity to engage in these tendering procedures – and most social enterprises are small.
In this perspective, tendering begins to look like a way of weeding out the best candidates, rather than selecting them!
Of course in many areas, for large contracts, public bodies are tied by EU and other regulatory frameworks – so there's a rather larger lobbying job to be done – but in many areas, such as health and social care, there are only limited legal requirements for excessively complicated tendering procedures, and the fondness of the public sector for them is underpinned not by regulation, but by habit - and the misguided belief that they actually work.
It might be objected that there is no other way of avoiding discrimination, or the old 'deal done on the golf course' mentality. But is discrimination in areas such as this really best dealt with through excessive regulation? – or is it more a question of 'hearts and minds'?
I've also recently been involved in developing a project team for a new social enterprise. It was done entirely by 'head hunting' – no advertising costs, no forms, no interviews, no equal opportunities paraphernalia - a process common in the commercial world, but one that many in the public and voluntary sectors would frown on. Yet it is hard to find any good evidence that the bureaucracy surrounding equal ops in the public sector has made any difference. If it had, we should be able to point not only to higher proportions of women employed in the public sector (which we can - in fact disproportionately high) but also of disabled people - which we can't. In fact the proportion of disabled people employed in the third sector – about 18% - is much better than either the public or private sectors - which do no better than each other at about 13% each (according to Jenny Clark, NCVO, September 2006).
I wonder if what really made the difference for women in the public sector, and disabled people in the third sector, was nothing to do with legislation or formality, but everything to do with cultural transformation. And conversely, the fact that the formalities don't seem to have addressed the exclusion of disabled people in the public sector may demonstrate the cultural distance some public bodies still have to go to see what abilities people with disabilities can, in fact, offer.
Learning from the Open Source Movement
A Guardian sub-editor garbled the final paragraphs of my latest guest blog there - but here's a corrected version...
I argued recently that a focus on a few kinds of social enterprise - those that happen to fit an official definition, or can be used to forward a government agenda - is blinding us to a much bigger picture.
Perhaps the most striking example of this is the surprising indifference of social enterprise to another great movement of our times: the open source software movement. Now I'm sure that many people reading the last sentence will be utterly bewildered. Open source software? that's just a specialist thing for computer geeks, isn't it? What has it got to do with our enterprise, or the social issues we're trying to address?
Well – lots!
I think of open source as the 'intellectual property wing' of social enterprise – and nobody should be under any illusion about the leading position that intellectual property - the knowledge and creative industries - now occupy in developed economies. Moreover, this particular 'wing' is probably globally the most successful aspect of social enterprise. About three quarters of the internet runs on open source software. But let me pick out just three inspirational areas:
The focus on a few kinds of social enterprise is blinding us to a bigger picture
I was recently invited to contribute a number of 'guest blogs' by The Guardian - this is the text of my first...
I was at a 'woman entrepreneur of the year' awards do the other night as a guest of the North East Social Enterprise Partnership. NESEP had sponsored the woman social entrepreneur category. Half-way through the presentations of the businesses short-listed for the other awards, the NESEP Chief Executive turned to me and said "It's amazing how many of these are really social enterprises." It was true: many of these leading women entrepreneurs were talking about the social problems they had set out to address through their business, or the artistic quest that really motivated them, or the ethical values they placed at the heart of their work. In fact, although the contenders for the social entrepreneur award were all doing great things, it was quite hard sometimes to see the difference.
It seems to me there are quite a few such straws in the wind around social enterprise nowadays.
Such as Jonathan Jenkins' plea here in the Guardian Social Enterprise Network 'not to let the purists hold us back'.

If you have medical insurance and are diagnosed with diabetes and foot complications, you may have coverage for therapeutic footwear at little or no out-of-pocket or up-front cost.
Protecting At-Risk Feet
Diabetes-associated lower extremity amputations comprised 70.2% of all lower extremity amputations performed in Massachusetts from 2002 through 2004, according to Massachusetts Department Public Health.
A primary strategy for protecting the feet of people with diabetes is to provide therapeutic footwear. Therapeutic shoes are professionally fitted to accommodate custom molded insoles, and provide a safe environment for the feet, especially in the toe area. Custom molded insoles evenly distribute pressures across the weight-bearing (plantar) surface of the foot.
Therapeutic Shoe Benefit (TSB) for Persons with Diabetes and Complications
In order to qualify, you must have a diagnosis of diabetes with at least one of the following conditions:

The 2018 Next Challenge Grant has now closed for applications.
If you applied, you will receive an email acknowledging your application by Friday 16th February.
The grant will re-open for 2019 applications in autumn.
The Next Challenge Grant
The Next Challenge Grant is an annual bursary for adventures.
It was started in 2015 and has funded over 40 different adventures. The money comes from me (Tim Moss), small crowdfunded donations and contributions from other adventurers.
I received many expedition grants when I was younger and they helped me undertake some fantastic adventures, which have shaped the person I am today. I am now in a position where I can give something back.
In 2015 this website earned £200 in advertising revenue and I decided to offer that as a grant. When I announced my intention, lots of other 'adventurers' offered to match my pledge, and 100 members of the public donated £2 each to do the same. We raised £1,600.
That process now happens every year and we typically raise around £2,000. The money is distributed between the winning applicants, each receiving between £100 and £800 (plus kit). Anyone can apply.
Past winners
Who can apply?
The grant is open to all people, of all ages and of any nationality.
It is primarily aimed at beginners and those who have not done lots of expeditions before.
What can I get?
Winners of the grant get a share of up to £2,000 (typically £100 to £200 per trip).
You can get help from me if you want it and I have a small amount of equipment I can loan out too.
Who's won it?
There have been 40 winners of The Next Challenge Grant so far with between 8 and 17 people winning an award each year since 2015.
Many of the winners are pictured on this page.
Who funds it?
In addition to the £200 I put in, The Next Challenge Expedition Grant is made possible by the generous contributions from a range of other 'adventurers' and lots of £3 donations from members of the public
How to apply
Applications for the 2018 Next Challenge Grant have now closed. The deadline was 31 January 2018.
Applications for the 2019 grant will re-open this autumn. Please read the criteria to check whether your plan is eligible.
If your trip is eligible then there are two stages:
1. Initial Application
A very short Google Form with the basic outline of who you are and what your idea is.
2. Shortlist & Detailed Application
A shortlist will be invited to complete a full application form with more details about their plans.

Amanda Honold, seriously injured in car crash 6 years ago, graduates from Stony Brook University
Stony Brook University held its commencement for its Class of 2014, which included one student who finished school after nearly dying in a car accident.
Amanda Honold, 27, had to be cut out of her car with the Jaws of Life after a car accident six years ago. Stony Brook University Hospital trauma surgeon Dr. Eric Shapiro says her vital signs were poor and that she was in a coma when she was brought in. Honold's doctors say she hovered near death for weeks, but eventually managed to recover.
Honold's wish was to finish her Italian studies degree at Stony Brook. She managed to complete her degree this year, after six years in rehab and lots of help and support from her mother.
Honold, of Port Jefferson Station, says she plans to use her degree to go into teaching or interpreting.

common name: nasturtium
scientific name: Tropaeolum majus
If you live in the Bay Area, you've probably noticed these brilliant yellow, orange, and red flowers growing rampantly along with their lily pad shaped leaves. Plant one seed and you will have nasturtium forever--the plant grows quickly and easily, producing many seeds that look almost like chickpeas. Both the flowers and leaves on this plant are edible, most often adding a peppery flavor plus that pop of color to salads! In fact, the name 'nasturtium' translates to mean "nose twist" for the peppery punch that it delivers when eaten. Here are some unique recipes for nasturtium:

The Squabble That Never Ends: Britain and Spain Duel Over Gibraltar
Three hundred years ago, the rock of Gibraltar, rising dramatically out of the Spanish coastline, became a British territory. This has never sat well with Spain. And now recent disputes over the territorial waters around Gibraltar has sparked a naval standoff and a diplomatic row between the two countries.
Lauren Frayer traveled to Gibraltar to bring us the story.
LAUREN FRAYER, BYLINE: I'm at Spain's southern tip where the rock of Gibraltar casts a huge shadow over these city streets. There's what looks like a mile-long line of cars here waiting to cross the international border. I'm going on foot into British territory.
BRIAN REYES: Hi.
FRAYER: Hi, I'm Lauren.
REYES: I'm Brian. Nice to meet you.
FRAYER: Nice to meet you. I'm so sorry I'm late.
Once past customs, I ask Brian Reyes, news editor at the Gibraltar Chronicle, what's up with those long lines?
REYES: I mean, we've had peaks of queues six, seven hours. Yesterday, to get out, it took two and a half hours.
FRAYER: Why? Just at the...
REYES: Because they're checking every car, basically. And they're doing it very slowly.
FRAYER: Spain says it's checking for tobacco smuggling, but increased border checks are Spain's way of retaliating in a dispute over nearby waters, Reyes says.
REYES: Fishing with nets is illegal in Gibraltar waters. The Gibraltar government enforced that law, to the anger of the Spanish fishermen. Britain claims three miles of water around the rock. Spain says Gibraltar has no waters. That's the key to this issue. It's not about fishing. It's about jurisdiction.
FRAYER: London and Madrid recently summoned one another's ambassadors when a Spanish research boat motored into those waters. Rival navies face off almost weekly, though no shots have been fired for more than 300 years. Still, the hostility reinforces Gibraltarians' British identity.
DANIELLE PRATT: We have your typical Sunday roast with your Yorkshire puddings, your cauliflower cheese, your vegetables. And we also do the typical fish and chips here as well, with mushy peas. That's a (unintelligible) pub's favorite here.
FRAYER: Pub waitress Danielle Pratt serves up quintessentially British fare, but only a fraction of Gibraltar's 30,000 residents, all British citizens, actually have ancestors from the British Isles. Most are descendants of Spanish, Portuguese or Italian traders, like Patrick Sacarello, who runs a coffee house his family started here in the 19th century.
PATRICK SACARELLO: The first Sacarello had a sort of little sort of sailing boat where carried goods around the Mediterranean. There is a comparison with the merchants - sort of city of Venice. And this Italian influence can be seen also in the stratas, the arches, the doorways, combined with English colonial architecture.
FRAYER: To Madrid, this peninsula, physically attached to Spain, is a colony left over from the British Empire. But Gibraltarians have voted twice, overwhelmingly to stay British. The most recent referendum was 98 percent in favor, says Tito Vallejo, a retired Gibraltarian soldier.
TITO VALLEJO: Of all the people who voted, only 44 people voted to go with Spain. And they say that those were mistakes. (Laughing) They voted in the wrong box by mistake. That's what they say.
FRAYER: There's just something about this 200 million-year-old chunk of limestone, says newspaperman Brian Reyes.
REYES: The identity of this people is intimately linked to this rock.
FRAYER: But it's just a rock. I mean, like...
REYES: (Laughing) But, you know, it's a place. It's a home. It's a pretty iconic rock, not just a rock.
FRAYER: I joined a tour group to the top.
MARK VARJAQUE: OK, guys, now we're going to the highest point, 1,400 feet, 426 meters. You'll be able to take pictures of the views and the monkeys, but do not touch the monkeys 'cause they bite. Yeah.
FRAYER: No Gibraltar's story is complete without a mention of Europe's only wild monkey population brought here by either British shoulders or Arab traders centuries ago.
FRAYER: Hundreds of them chomp on carrots, scamper over the rock and then nap in the sun. Tour guide Mark Varjaque has a theory.
VARJAQUE: The legend is that whenever the last monkey disappears from Gibraltar, we'll give this back to Spain. But I don't think that's going to happen.
FRAYER: Because, he says, the monkeys have been reproducing like crazy.
For NPR News, I'm Lauren Frayer in Gibraltar.

Theft Crimes
Texas law defines theft as a number of offenses, including theft by false pretext, conversion by a bailee, theft from a person, shoplifting, acquisition of property by threat, swindling, embezzlement, extortion, receiving or concealing embezzled property and receiving or concealing stolen property.
Anyone who has been charged with a theft crime could face serious penalties and repercussions if they are convicted, including a criminal record, an inability to pursue certain jobs or professions, ineligibility to be admitted to certain colleges or graduate schools, jail or prison time, steep fines and/or a possibly permanent criminal record.
Theft charges can arise from a number of situations, including when the alleged offender accidentally walked out of a store with an item in their bag or they unknowingly took an item from a store. No matter the reason, Texas prosecutors will attempt to prosecute the alleged offender to the fullest extent of the law. If you have been charged with a theft offense in Georgetown, it is important to hire an experienced criminal lawyer to help you create your best defense.
If you have been charged with any theft crime in Georgetown, or any of the surrounding areas of Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Taylor, Hutto, Killeen, Temple, Belton or Harker Heights, contact Law Office of Michael J. Price P.C..
Attorney Michael J. Price is knowledgeable in all areas of Texas' theft laws and will make every effort to help you achieve the best possible outcome for your particular situation. Call Law Office of Michael J. Price P.C. for a free consultation at (512) 354-1880 about your alleged violent crime.
Some of the most commonly charged theft offenses in Texas can include, but are not limited to:
Theft / Retail Theft / Shoplifting – Tex. Penal Code § 31.03 – An individual can be charged with this offense if they unlawfully take a person's property with the intent to deprive them of their property without their consent. A conviction for this offense is punishable as a Class C, B or A misdemeanor, state jail felony, felony of the third degree, felony of the second degree or felony of the first degree, depending on the value of the property or services stolen.
Carjacking – Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle – Tex. Penal Code § 31.07 – An individual can be charged with this offense if they intentionally or knowingly operate another person's boat, airplane or motor vehicle without their consent. This offense is punishable as a state jail felony.
Robbery – Tex. Penal Code § 29.02 – An individual can be charged with this offense if they intentionally, knowingly or recklessly cause bodily injury to another person during the commission of a theft offense, or intentionally or knowingly threaten another person or cause them to fear bodily injury or death during the commission of a theft. This offense is punishable as a felony of the second degree.
Aggravated Robbery – Tex. Penal Code § 29.03 – An individual can be charged with this offense if they commit a robbery and:
This offense is punishable as a felony of the first degree.
Chapter 12 of the Texas Penal Code defines the penalties for many theft crimes in Texas. These penalties can vary depending on the value of the property taken, whether a weapon was used to commit the offense, the age of the victim and whether the alleged offender has any previous criminal history.
According to the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 134.005 (the Texas Theft Liability Act), anyone who has been a victim of a theft offense can recover actual damages, additional damages up to $1,000, court costs and attorneys fees from the individual who allegedly committed the theft.
Large department stores, merchants and retailers, such as Wal-Mart and Target, will often send the alleged shoplifter a demand for payment or threaten to threaten to sue for the amount of the items stolen. Although large stores will not usually follow through with their threats, it is very important to hire an experienced theft attorney to advise you on your best course of action and defend you against any other criminal penalties you may be facing for the allegations against you.

CNET First Look
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2Although the photos looks a hair noisier and overprocessed compared with many competitors, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 has a lot to recommend it--including a flip-and-twist touch-screen and speedy performance.
[ music ] ^M00:00:03 >> Hi. I'm Lori Grunin, Senior Editor with CNET, and this is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2. With this update to the G1, Panasonic adds video capture, which was missing from its predecessor. But it also endebed [phonetic] the G2 with a touch screen, which makes it the first in any consumer interchangeable lense camera and that includes DSLR's. The company did a very nice job with the implementation as well. The touch screen enabled capabilities like touch focus and touch metering, which has been available in point and shoots for a few generations. But there's still plenty of direct access buttons and navigation controls, so that you're not stuck using the touch when it's not the optimal interface. You can do almost everything both ways, except navigate the menus. And you disable selective aspects of the touch screen operations, such as quick menu. Not only is touch focus a nice feature to have, but the G2 allows you to directly access any of the settings. While touch screen operation is pretty well done, there's one infuriatingly frustrating aspect to it. If you're in single area auto focus mode and you touch the screen when it's not clear that you're going for one of the settings, the camera assumed you want to change your focus area and drops you into that interface. Plus it moves the focus area to wherever you touched. The G2 uses basically the same body as the G1. I like the rubberized overlay and the large comfortable grip. One of my least favorite changes between the G1 and the G2 is the relocation of the SD slot from the grip to the battery compartment. Yes, it's a very common location, but it's really annoying if you use a tripod. And it's a bit awkward if you take the card out frequently. Panasonic doesn't skimp on the switches and dials in this camera. There's a custom mode, which lets you access three batches of custom settings. It's a bit hard to decipher which settings can be saved, even with the help of the manual. For example, it seems like it won't save shutter speeds in still photo modes, but it will in video mode. Though that's not uncommon, in my book it's aggravating and counterintuitive, that you can save all of the settings surrounding the shutter priority mode except for the most important one, the shutter speed. A big switch on the dial lets you choose among the drive modes, which are unchanged from the G1. As with the GF1 you can register up to 6 faces in the camera memory with names and birthdays, priority for auto focus and exposure, and a custom focus icon. In this camera the notable nicety remains the bracketing, which supports up to 7 frames and 2 stops in either direction. For video, which maxes out at 30 frame per second 720P, you can set coder type, quality, metering, four levels of intelligent exposure, and four levels of wind filtering. You have a little bit of manual control during movie capture. There's a pho [phonetic] aperture adjustment setting called peripheral defocus, and there's a limited ability to change shutter speeds. But finding them both requires a slog through the manual to discover them. For example, to change the shutter speed in movie mode you press the button labeled with aperture and garbage icons, which then brings up text that says, flicker red cancel, at which point the scroll dial lets you choose one of the yellow highlighted numbers from 50, 60, 100, and 120. I'd never have guessed that that's the way to set the shutter speed. Like the other Panasonics we've tested, the G2 is pretty fast. Both the LCD and the EVF are bright and sharp, as well as sufficiently high resolutions to manually focus and judge sharpness. However, the camera suffers from the typical problems when it comes to shooting action with and EVF or an LCD. Setting the image quality on this camera turned out to be a toughie. On one hand it delivers accurate color and exposures, even on its defaults. While several of the preset options do induce some color shifts, they're not as egregious as I've seen on many consumer digital SLR's. Panasonic manages to produce exceptionally bright, saturated colors without significantly shifting the hues. But it also seems to be the noisiest in its generation, with visible artifacts down as low as ISO200. They're exacerbated by Panasonics default combination of noise reduction and sharpening algorithms. But even doing my own processing in Adobe Camera Raw, you'll do better, but not as good as they should be, results. With the G2's defaults, too many photos look good at small sizes, but up close look like they've been taken with a point and shoot. They're crunchy with that over sharpened false level of detail look. At ISO100 however, the default settings don't introduce artifacts that they do at higher ISO sensitivities. They have cleaner edges and lack noise patterns. The image looks quite natural and not at all digital. There's tons to like about the G2, including the photo quality, if you're not as nitpicky as me. While it's not as compact as some competitors, it counters them with a built in EVF and an articulating touch screen. As with any EVF centric model, I don't recommend it if you're planning to shoot action, that means kids and pets too. But for all other types of photography this is a pretty strong contender. I'm Lori Grunin, and this is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2. ^M00:04:56 [ music ] ^E00:04:58


text: Mucky Nutz Butt Fender Mudguard £7.50 Out of Stock Mucky Nutz The latest Butt Fender is now 40mm longer, providing even more protection. It joins the already established Bender Fender range and in doing so uses the same technology and materials, reaping many of the known benefits. It attaches to the saddle rails, with no need for additional fasteners, and hangs over the back wheel, protecting the rider against 'soggy arse syndrome'. Soggy Arse Syndrome: "the effect caused by the rear wheel throwing mud and rainwater to your lower back region, which then soaks through to your derrière, leading to a very uncomfortable chafing feeling, especially on those longer rides". Shudder!! So if you're prone to this problem and are looking for a light-weight, minimalist solution, weighing in at just 19g; look no further!!!. Here's a summary of the Butt Fender's plus points: - *It prevents 'soggy arse syndrome' i.e. your derrière getting soaked from the mud and rainwater thrown from your back wheel. *It is fitted as close as possible to said back face for optimum 'muck' catching. *It prevents the top of your seat post from getting clogged up. *Discretion is its middle name. It's small but effective. *It's possibly the lightest rear mudguard available, at just 19g. *No need for separate fasteners, so it's easy to fit and take off. *It's compatible with all standard double rail saddles, so long as they don't have any daft bits hanging off the rear. *When off, it's easy to clean as it's flexible and opens flat. Simply wipe it and you're done.

In Fairbanks, Alaska, Abraham Stine, 39, reportedly punched his cousin, Wesley Lord, 37, to death after he found that his girlfriend, Dominique Vasquez, had slept with Lord during a night of allegedly drinking and smoking methamphetamine with others in a hotel room.
Stine told investigators that Lord had raped Vasquez, but one witness who was part at the party told police that the sex was consensual, while another witness said he came out of the shower to find Stine holding a knife and warning him that he had to say Lord had raped Vasquez.
Stine and Vasquez, both from Barrow, have been accused of second-degree murder.
Alaska State Troopers investigator Joseph Harris said Stine phoned police and told them to come to the Extended Stay Hotel about 5 a.m. Wednesday. Stine insisted that Lord had just raped Vasquez. When police arrived, they handcuffed Lord, who was naked and face-down on the bed. Harris said, "They began to restrain the subject by putting him in handcuffs, at which point they noted his hands felt stiff and he was not breathing. They found no pulse and summoned (emergency medical services), who confirmed the subject was deceased."
Stine reportedly told police that he had been at the party all day, but they "ditched" him, whereupon he left, only to return and find Lord and Vasquez in the middle of intercourse.
Harris said that one witness "opened the window and told Stine that Lord had just raped Vasquez. Stine crawled in through the window and charged Lord and a physical altercation ensued. Stine admitted to holding Lord down and punching him several times. After Lord wasn't fighting back, Stine continued to punch him in the face for 5-10 minutes."
Harris added that the same witness "also said after Stine attacked Lord, Vasquez went over to Lord and was covering his mouth with her hand and it appeared she was choking him."
Vasquez first claimed that Lord had raped her, but later retracted that statement. Harris asserted, "Later, Vasquez admitted she lied about being raped by Lord and she had consensual sex with him. Vasquez knew Stine had a history of assaulting people from her personal experience. She noted Stine had previously held her down with his knee on her chest making it difficult for her to breathe."
Stine formerly managed the city-operated alcohol distribution center in Barrow but left last April.

With her husband in the Klondike searching for gold, MRS. WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE PATCH (the poor part of town) valiantly strives against heavy odds to care for her five children.
Based on the book by Helen Hegan Rice, this is a wonderfully sentimental look at a bygone era of Americana. While it is easy and perhaps even fashionable to scoff at films which touch the emotions, there is absolutely nothing wrong with sentimentality if the sentiment expressed rings honest & true. There are no false notes here.
Noted stage actress Pauline Lord (1890-1950), in the first of only three film appearances, is heartrending in the title role. Gentle & patient, she is the very epitome of loving motherhood. ZaSu Pitts (1898-1963), with vague voice & fluttering fingers, gives a noteworthy performance as the Wiggs' spinster neighbor. Had events proceeded differently and her contributions to von Stroheim's GREED justly appreciated, Miss Pitts would have been recognized as one of the screen's greatest tragediennes. Instead, she orbited into comedic roles, constantly portraying a nervous, scatterbrained female, a sort of living, breathing, Olive Oyl.
Following the film's most sorrowful sequence, director Norman Taurog wanted to introduce a light touch to the succeeding scenes. The inimitable W. C. Fields was brought in for one week's work to play Miss Pitts' gustatorial suitor. Although in much pain from a torn ligament, he is splendid, delivering what is almost a dress rehearsal for his subsequent characterization of the marvelous Micawber. His scenes with Miss Pitts are a special delight, mixing blustery braggadocio with humor & pathos.
The romantic angle is nicely underplayed by Evelyn Venable & Kent Taylor, portraying upper echelon protectors of the Wiggs family. Charles Middleton does well as the obligatory villainous landlord. Young George P. Breakston is especially good as the ethereal Jimmy; and Donald Meek scores in his tiny role as Mrs. Wiggs ineffectual husband.
Movie mavens will recognize Arthur Housman in his typical role of an inebriate & Dell Henderson as the theater manager, both unbilled.
Tender & charming, here is a film which the receptive viewer should cherish.

Summer, (according to my family) means going on a roadtrip. This year's destination: Cornwall. It's a five hour drive from home to there. You might think it's such a drag or it's boring or it's too tiring, but with a crazy family like ours, you will never get bored even if it's a 10 hour drive. There's a lot of screaming, singing, laughing, getting lost and fighting along the way. Fun, right?
It was gloomy and raining when we got to Cornwall but it didn't stop us from wandering around. There was no time to waste. (mainly because of the very reason that we're only staying there for four days. Had to make the most out of it. haha!) We had breakfast at the beach first. Picture's not included because it was raining hard and too cold to step out the car and snap a pretty picture.
After we fueled our bodies with some bread and eggs, our first stop was Trerice House. (Thank God, the weather was better) I particulary like visiting these kinds of places and see the houses of important people before or where the Tudors lived or whatever. Sorry, I'm not really very good with history, but I do appreciate these houses and the history that lives in it. I just wish I paid more attention in history class so I know better.
The second place we went to was the Pendennis Castle, which was on top of a cliff. We saw canons and the beautiful view of the coast. Makes you wonder how it was like during the war. To end our first day in Cornwall, of course, we had to visit the beach. Nothing beats the sound of ocean waves.
It was a fulfilling and satisfying first day. We settled in the lodge, and we all went straight to bed planning to watch the sunrise at the beach the next day.

England will field one of the most inexperienced backlines of the professional era for their RBS Six Nations opener against France in Paris on Saturday and without the safety net of a specialist fly-half on the bench as injury cover.
Stuart Lancaster, the England head coach, is set to hand debuts to 20-year-old Exeter wing Jack Nowell and Northampton centre Luther Burrell in a backline with a combined total number of caps of just 91 – an average of just 13 caps per player and an average age of just over 24 years.
Lancaster's decision to recall Danny Care, the Harlequins scrum-half, in place of Northampton's Lee Dickson, for his first Test start since Italy last year accounts for almost half of those caps.
Care will win his 43rd cap on Saturday, but has started just four games during Lancaster's two-year tenure.
Dickson, who started all three Tests during the QBE International series last November, is retained the bench with Leicester and Lions scrum-half Ben Youngs set to be dropped on form for the first time since breaking into the squad in 2010.
"Competition at scrum-half has been particularly tight and Danny Care's form leading into the Six Nations has been excellent and he merits his inclusion," said Lancaster after announcing a 26-man squad to travel to Paris. He will announce his starting XV team on Thursday.
"Ben Youngs misses out this time but he is a quality player and I am sure he will respond in the same way Danny did at the start of the year."
With Gloucester's Jonny May, who has just one cap as a replacement during the tour of Argentina last June, to be named on the left wing, the combined total caps for the two centres and two wings will come to just nine – eight of which are provided by Billy Twelvetrees.
As revealed on Telegraph Sport on Sunday, Saracens wing Chris Ashton has also been omitted from the squad despite his uplift in form for his club since November.
"We have been pleased with the form of Chris Ashton recently," Lancaster added.
"However, Jack Nowell has made great progress on the right wing and has also delivered in big games for Exeter Chiefs and we feel it is the right time to look at another option in that position.
"Chris remains an important member of the squad and I am sure he will be working hard to regain that position during the course of the Six Nations."
After Care, Mike Brown, the Harlequins full-back is the most experienced backline player with 21 caps, followed by Owen Farrell's total of 19.
To counter that inexperience, Lancaster has opted to name Saracens centre Brad Barritt on the bench despite only returning to action from a long-term foot injury at the start of the month.
Lancaster however has opted not to select Bath fly-half George Ford, who has been in impressive form in the Premiership for his club, or Northampton's Stephen Myler as cover. Alex Goode, the Saracens full-back who has experience of playing at 10 named along with Dickson.
Twelvetrees also has experience of playing at fly-half with Gloucester, but to travel to Paris without two specialist fly-halves must be considered a calculated risk by Lancaster.
Ford was last night named in a 26-man squad to travel to Paris as injury cover along with his Bath team-mate Anthony Watson and Wasps prop Matt Mullan but will not feature in the match-day squad unless a player becomes injured.
The other tight selection call will see Joe Marler preferred at loosehead prop in preference to Lions forward Mako Vunipola, who starts on the bench and is likely to provide a ball-carrying impact in the second half on Saturday.
The callowness of Lancaster's line-up, which will be announced on Thursday, is underscored by the fact that four forwards alone provide almost half the team's total number of caps of 286.
Dylan Hartley, the Northampton hooker, is the most experienced player in the team with 50 caps, closely followed by tighthead prop Dan Cole (43). Courtney Lawes (25) and Tom Wood (23) are the next two most experienced players.
The total number of caps in the expected starting XV on Saturday is just 54 more than the rookie side Lancaster selected for his first game in charge as interim coach for the opening Six Nations game against Scotland in 2011 which featured a total of 232 including four debutants – Farrell, Brad Barritt, Mouritz Botha and Phil Dowson.
Lancaster's selection represents the injury list that has beset his squad, denying him the available of key men such as Manu Tuilagi, Tom Croft, Geoff Parling, Alex Corbisiero, David Wilson and Ben Foden, as well as up and coming talent Marland Yarde and Christian Wade.
Yet it also reflects Lancaster's desire to test the credentials of the likes of Nowell, May and Burrell, who has all impressed in training, as part of the development pathway to the 2015 World Cup.
Graham Rowntree, England's assistant coach, insisted the squad were ready for the physical and mental challenge that awaits them in Paris but warned them not to be overawed by the occasion.
"I used to love playing in France, it's my second favourite anthem," Rowntree said. "The lads have to be excited by a game like this. The hairs are standing up on the back of my head thinking about it.
"Anywhere we go there's an atmosphere waiting for us and that's great for our lads. I used to love it as a player.
"I don't want our guys getting too emotional, I want them to be switched on and on the edge. I want them on the edge but under control. I don't want to see any stupid penalties.
"Every wants to beat the English. It's great. That's just the way we feel, it's good for us. We foster it every now and again. Wining away from home is one of the best feelings going."
Bath's Kyle Eastmond will join the England Saxons squad and be included in the 23 to face Scotland A in Scotstoun, Glasgow on Friday.
England team to face France (probable): 15) Mike Brown 14) Jack Nowell 13) Luther Burrell 12) Billy Twelvetrees 11) Jonny May 10) Owen Farrell 9) Danny Care 1) Joe Marler 2) Dylan Hartley 3) Dan Cole 4) Joe Launchbury 5) Courtney Lawes 6) Tom Wood 7) Chris Robshaw 8) Billy Vunipola>

It was purely coincidental that our recent trip to Singapore coincided with Chinese New Year. Every where we went around the island country, new year wishes were present, Chinese lanterns were strung across the streets and the Chinese families were easily identifiable because they were all wearing red. Even the trendy western clothing stores, known more for their whites, blacks and shades of gray, had spruced up their window displays with a splash of red.
Chinatown was in a bustling, festive mood and we lingered around the food stalls trying all the street food on offer. Restaurant touts tried to lure us to their restaurants and as we flicked through the menus of exotic Chinese dishes, it became a real challenge to settle on just one place to eat. Eventually we did select one of the many restaurants and we tucked in to tasty noodles, Peking duck and crispy spring rolls.
Returning home from an overseas trip always brings mixed emotions; happy to be back home, wishing our trip could have been extended by a few more days and perhaps a certain amount of anxiety at returning to work after so many days off. It was lucky then that sitting in my inbox was an email from Hilton Chennai inviting us to come and try their new Chinese New Year menu – it was like our Singapore trip had been extended by a couple of days.
Now let me go off at a bit of a tangent here. Anyone who has eaten Chinese food in Chennai knows it can't be truly described as authentic Chinese food. It's just not possible to make because you can't get the same ingredients and most importantly, the food been designed to appeal to the local palette. Take a Chinese person to any one of the Chinese chain restaurants and they'll be scratching their heads wondering what part of the noodles is authentic. This is fine of course, a restaurant needs to make money and if the local market doesn't like the authentic taste, it has to be adjusted to suit the market. There's no need to get upset about this.
However, Hilton, being one of the largest worldwide hotel chains, wanted to make their Chinese New Year food festival to be as authentic as possible. After all, their clientele is international. To achieve this, they brought over Chef Ai Liang from the Sichuan region of China. A Sichuan cuisine specialist, he has designed the menu, personally cooked many of the buffet dishes and brought over his own ingredients from China to ensure that what you are eating is pure, authentic Chinese food. Try and find another restaurant in Chennai that can say that about their Chinese menu!
Meeting Chef Ai Liang was an experience in itself. A self-taught chef, now working at Hilton Chengdu in China, he doesn't speak any English, nor do I speak any Mandarin. Instead, we relied on Google Translate to communicate and find out how he's liking India. Fortunately the staff at the Hilton had found a translator who could speak English, Mandarin and Tamil, so he was the most in-demand person of the moment.
To kick off the buffet, lamb and beef starters were laid out. For vegetarians, delicious fried cauliflower, lightly coated in honey was on offer. I like my meat but the fried cauliflower won my heart.
If you like seafood then you'll be dazzled at the seafood soup that has been prepared. With prawns and squid in a mushroom based soup, it'll certain tickle your tastebuds like it did mine. My poor vegetarian wife couldn't watch as I dished out the squid, tentacles and all, in my spoon and popped it in my mouth!
For the main buffet courses, eight separate dishes are available, three of them are vegetarian and the remaining five contain meat. Having had my fill of vegetarian starters, I skipped the veggie options and focused only on the meat – Chinese food is known for its pork and beef after all!
Before I dug in, the restaurant manager warned me that it might be a little spicy, but perhaps he didn't know I've been in Chennai for nine years and spice is kinda my thing now. The shredded beef was indeed spicy, but it was so juicy that I couldn't get enough of it. The pork noodles took me straight back to Chinatown in Singapore as I let the meat melt in my mouth. So good, I had to go back for seconds. And maybe thirds. Luckily my new year diet resolution ended last week which was the moment I landed at Changi airport.
To keep everything washed down throughout the meal, jasmine tea is provided. I must confess, I do like my jasmine tea and I finished the entire teapot by myself before my wife had a single cup. Oops!
Prowling around the buffet counters, I was looking for any special Chinese dish that I had missed. As well as the eight Chinese dishes, there was a range of Indian, Continental and Japanese sushi options so you might come for the Chinese and stay for the lasagna if you wanted to. Eventually I found the dumpling section and loaded up my plate with prawn, chicken and veggie dumplings. Let me just say this: The soy sauce accompanying the dumplings was to die for. It was unlike other soy sauces I had tried in India. I forgot to ask Chef Ai Liang (via Google Translate) if this was one of the special ingredients he had brought from China but I suspect it was.
Almost full to bursting, it was time to tackle the dessert counter. Although there are nearly endless dessert options at the Vascos restaurant, I wanted to try the two Chinese desserts that were available: Custard Tart and Fried Wantons with Honey sauce. It was excellent, just like the ones I had in Singapore. I went back for seconds, and I would challenge anyone to not settle for just one helping.
If you are looking to try out some authentic Chinese food in Chennai, now is your chance at Vasco's at Hilton Chennai.
Chinese New Year Food Festival at Vascos, Hilton Chennai
The food festival is running during dinner the Vasco's restaurant at Hilton Chennai from the 1st to 13th February so you need to get your skates on if you want to try authentic Chinese food in India cooked by an expert Chinese chef. The cost is Rs 1,795 plus tax per person and Rs 999 plus tax per child. This doesn't include alcoholic drinks which are charged extra. Timings for the buffet are between 6:30pm and 11:30pm each day until the 13th February.

BEIJING (Reuters) - A senior official of China National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC) is under investigation suspected of having received bribes, China's top prosecutor said on Thursday, the first executive from the offshore oil and gas firm embroiled by Beijing's war on graft.
Luo Weizhong, general manager of CNOOC Gas & Power group, a fully owned subsidiary of CNOOC, had also been detained, according to a statement on the website of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.(www.spp.gov.cn)
Luo is also the general manager of international trading for the CNOOC Gas & Power group, which is in charge of investing in multi-billion dollar gas import terminals and lining up long-term import deals of liquefied natural gas.
CNOOC is the parent of Hong Kong and New York-listed CNOOC Ltd.
President Xi Jinping has launched a sweeping crackdown on corruption since taking power, warning that the problem is a threat to the Communist Party's very survival and vowing to go after powerful "tigers" as well as lowly "flies".
The crackdown has so far netted Zhou Yongkong, former security chief and previously an oil industry man, and Jiang Jiemin, former head of top energy group CNPC.

Computational approaches for the DNA sequencing data deluge
Along these lines, I will discuss collaborative scientific projects in epigenetics and gene expression profiling for which I provided novel computational methods in areas such as read alignment, text indexing, and data-intensive computing. I will also discuss a new set of methods for very time- and space-efficient alignment of sequencing reads: Bowtie and Bowtie 2. These tools build on the insight that the Burrows-Wheeler Transform and the FM Index, previously used for data compression and exact string matching, can be extended to facilitate fast and memory-efficient alignment of DNA sequences to long reference genomes such as the human genome.
Ben Langmead is a Research Associate in the Department of Biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. He completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science in February 2012 at University of Maryland, advised by Steven L. Salzberg. His research addresses problems at the intersection of computer science and genomics, and he is the author of several open source software tools for analysis of high-throughput genomics data, including Bowtie, Bowtie 2, Crossbow and Myrna. His paper describing Bowtie won the Genome Biology award for outstanding paper published in 2009. At Johns Hopkins, he collaborates with biostatisticians, biomedical engineers, biologists, and other computer scientists to develop methods for analyzing second-generation DNA sequencing data.

My Favourite Black & White Quotes
I love words. I love quotes. I'm sentimental. I find words, quotes or pieces of literature that match how I'm feeling, and I keep them and remind myself of them. Words are beautiful, fun and emotive. So today's post is all about my favourite words, quotes and general musings that I've found in various places - thank you if they've come from you! I'm loving the simplicity of black and white quotes, so that's the theme of them all. I hope you like them as much as I do..
